How to set up a Production environment Question

I've added a much more detailed server set up guide for setting up self-hosted instances aimed at system administrators. You can find it on the codidact wiki at https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/wiki/Setting-up-a-Self-Hosted-Instance

Assuming you've followed the steps in the guide to setting up development, changing that to a production environment is relatively easy.

• Check your production configuration file (config/environments/production.rb) and make sure that it works for you. I can't tell you what's right here - it depends on your setup. The file is documented, so run through each option and make sure it's set to what you need.
• Make sure you've run rails assets:precompile before booting your server, and make sure it's part of your deploy process.
• Check your communities table. The community that you want to serve from a public web address will need it's host field updated - if you're serving from test.example.com:3000 then that's what the communities.host value should be.^[1]

So in other words, the installation step Community.create(name: 'Dev Community', host: 'localhost:3000') should be:

Community.create(name: 'Dev Community', host: 'qpixel.domain.com')

Or not?
